Answer 1

Among the food safety responses, wearing gloves for cleanliness is correct, as is the recommendation to turn off the water before drying hands after washing them. However, using hot as possible water is not recommended; warm water suffices to maintain proper hygiene.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question regarding Food Safety video content touches on best practices for handling and preparing food safely. Let's address each of the response choices individually:

• A. Wearing protective gloves is a recommendation to keep hands clean, particularly when handling food to minimize cross-contamination.
• B. When washing hands, the CDC recommends that you first wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), apply soap, and then after washing, turn off the water before drying your hands to conserve water and prevent recontaminating hands on a potentially dirty tap.
• C. This specific requirement is not normally part of general food safety recommendations, but having a source of potable water is essential for overall hygiene and safety in a kitchen.
• D. The temperature of the water used for handwashing should be comfortable. Extremely hot water is not necessary and can even cause skin irritation. Using warm water is sufficient.

Considering the provided choices and proper food safety standards, the correct response that aligns with the outlined handwashing guidelines is B - When you wash your hands, make sure to turn off the water before drying your hands.
